Yes, you are totally right. Winter needs the skinnier ones. The 225 wide 16 inch tires were Summer tires, very worn, so I did not buy them.

I just got the 205/55 r16 tires on the four Hydras I bought for $200 total (+ I scavenged a chrome TD grille.) The local tire shop checked them out today (balance, rotation, new stems). Next time I will get someone sand them down and I`ll repaint all four. I wish I had more time!

I want new lights too. They look bad, are cracked, faded and water/dirt gets in them.
